Food Choices

Dallin chose to eat asparagus tonight for dinner. We believe its important to offer many different kinds of foods to children because you never know what they will or won't eat.

We offered asparagus to Dallin for the first time with the rest of his dinner, and he ate what was on his plate and even asked for more. I had to give him some of mine. I don't know any other kid that eats asparagus especially this young of age. Way to go Dallin!!

Weekend in Utah

We just got back from Utah this weekend. It was Dallin's first trip in his new front facing car seat. He loves it so much better and the trip went really well. On the way home he fell asleep as soon as we were on the road and didn't wake up until we were in Idaho Falls. So the trip only seemed like 30 minutes for him.

Here are some more shots from our trip. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Smith for my new hat!!

Dallin's Fashion

Dallin has been helping me decide what he wears now (only around the house of course). Today he wanted his shirt off and this hat on. I thought it was funny and really cute.

Just yesterday Dallin thought he wanted to wear one of his diapers on the outside of his jeans. I thought he would take it off as soon as I put it on him, but he wore it around the house for about an hour. He is such a funny kid!!

Bye Bye Curls

This is a typical hair day for Dallin. Full head of hair and curls. Everyone has loved Dallin's hair since he was born. As he has gotten older it has started to get straight, but stayed curly on top of his head. This picture was taken about a month ago and we just got Dallin's hair cut yesterday. His bangs were almost to his eyes and I couldn't believe how much hair was cut off.

This is what he looks like now!! These pictures aren't the best, but you can get the idea of how different he looks. He looks more like a little boy and not a baby. He still has some good wave and body to his hair on top and its really thick. We are glag we got it cut, but Scott and I can't stop talking about how different he looks. I got a little sad when I put him down for his nap and he reached up to play with his curls like he always does before he falls asleep, and there wasn't much for him to touch.

Just around the Corner

Spring isn't here yet, but it is just around the corner. I am so ready for warmer weather. We are supposed to have 40 degree weather this week which will be a lot nicer. I am looking forward to going on walks with Dallin like we did last summer.
I never thought when I first moved to Idaho that I would spend 7 winters here, but I have survived!! With a possible move for us in April the thought that I have spent my last winter in Idaho this year makes me so happy!! I have really enjoyed living here being married with Scott and of course I loved the 4 years I was in school, but I am ready for something different. Hopefully a warmer climate will be in store for us.

Cordon Bleu Burgers

If you know me very well at all you know that I love Rachael Ray. I have made some of her recipes before and they have always turned out great or I have used one of her recipes to better one of my own. I was in the mood for something a little different and decided to try one of her burger recipes. It was a total success in our house. I LOVED it and Scott gave me one of the best compliments ever. He said, "This is just like we went out to dinner." He always praises me for my cooking and eats everything I make because he is such a wonderful husband and not a picky eater, but when he said that it just made my day. Thanks to my good pal Rachael Ray. I am excited to try more of her burger recipes because there are so many.

We're Still Alive

I have totally neglected our blog this month. Just wanted to let you know we are all doing fine and trying to keep up with everything that is happening. The weather is still freezing cold but at least we are seeing some sunny days which has been nice.
Earlier this month Scott was gone to Reno, NV for 4 days participating in a Heavy Civil Construction Competition. There were about 30 students total from BYU-Idaho that went and competed on 7 different teams. He had fun and was also able to attend a job fair with about 60 big construction companies that were there. Scott handed out several (over 20) resumes and was able to get some good experience from the trip. Hopefully we will hear back from some of the companies on some possible job opportunities. As of now we don't know if or when we will be moving after graduation in April.
Dallin and I survived while Scott was gone on his trip. I kept myself busy with some projects plus Dallin is enough to keep me busy all the time. He has been getting 2 more of his molars so he hasn't been sleeping well. And he is definitely more picky about what he eats which is normal for his age. I am just trying to be more creative with what food I offer him so that he is still getting the healthy food he needs.
We will keep you informed about our future plans and if we are moving as we know more ourselves.
